“The smart, sharp costumes of Elivia Bovenzi Blitz complemented the characters’ personalities and roles adroitly, and with generational savvy.”

Telly Halkias, Manchester Journal

“Dorset Theatre Festival’s “Other Desert Cities” is likely the most powerful theater you can see in Vermont this summer…The physical production benefits from Dorset’s usual high standards. The perfect Palm Springs upper-class living room was created by Christopher and Justin Swader, with moods created by Elizabeth C. Nichols’ effective lighting. Elivia Bovenzi Blitz’s costumes were picture-perfect.”

Jim Lowe, Rutland Herald

“Blitz’s costumes perfectly define the characters who wear them…The combination of performance, design, and direction just cannot be beaten by any theater in the region…”

J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge
